I liked its concept, but the dialogue and romance were uncomfortably awkward. And I wasn't fully sold on how much of a villain the love interest was. The heads hanging in the lair, among many other crimes, were just so casually described, almost as an afterthought. Also, they just call him The Villain as a title for most of the book. It's so uncreative and boring, you could call him literally anything and that's your choice?
